Wedgie-proof underwear sure to anger bullies

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The bane of schoolboys everywhere - the wedgie - has finally met its match.
It is the “Rip Away 1000.”

Invented by experts - 8-year-old twin boys - the wedgie-proof underwear uses rigged boxers and fabric fasteners to hold together seams.
“When the person tries to grab you - like the bully or the person tries to give you a wedgie - they just rip away,” explained Justin Serovich, who invented the underwear with his brother Jared.

It’s such a breakthrough that the boys were featured on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

The third-graders from Gables Elementary School began brainstorming one day after they were horsing around, giving each other the treatment. Their mother’s partner sarcastically said someone ought to invent wedgie-proof underwear.

The project got the boys to the finals of a central Ohio invention competition earlier this year, followed by the appearance on national TV.
